I need help. Yesterday i was reversing in my IS200 heard a loud bang/snap. I got out the car to find nothing. I then drove a bit and then it felt like i had a flat tyre. I got out the car again find all the tyres ok. When I drive now i can here a scraping sound the feel of the flat tyre comes and goes.

What do you think the problem is? I dont want to drive long distances like this.

Could it be a broken spring?

jack each wheel up in turn then spin it and listen for any abnormal noise, the broken spring theory sounds right as they go with a right bang and the end can come into contact with moving parts like wheels and tyres.

Does the car look lower on one wheel?

Son had a similar problem with his IS200, all the usual things were investigated but his problem was that one tyre was delaminating on the inside. Tyre was not that old and was replaced FOC
